Core Tip
Core tip: There are few studies on laparoscopic transduodenal local resection. Only three cases have been reported in the English-language literature. We present our experience in laparoscopic transduodenal local resection in a case of periampullary neuroendocrine tumor. The successful outcome suggests that laparoscopic transduodenal local resection is a feasible procedure in selected patients with periampullary tumor.
